My invention is a container intended for use particularly in marketingbottled goods or the like in which the container forms a protectivewrapping and also comprises a circular or the like descriptive of thegoods.

A further object of my invention is to form a descrptive circular withpreferably a covering material and provide this with a glued edge sothat when the circular is wound around the bottle the edge may be capsmay be attached.

1y container is preferably suited to round bottles so that when thecircular is wound on the bottle it forms a cylinder. One of circular oradditional covermg sheets is slightly longer than the main part ofthecircular or pamphlet so that the edge may be glued. A corrugatedcardboard forming a protection for the neck of the bottle is inserted inone end of the container and caps are fitted over the capped circularforming closures for each end.

M invention will be more readily understood from the followingdescription and drawings, in which;

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my container in its completed form.Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken substantially on the line 2--2 ofFig. 1, showing the container with a bottle therein.

Fig. -3 is a horizontal section on the line of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the circular or pamphlet rolled into acylinder and secured by a glued edge.

Fig. 5 illustrates in perspective, a pre ferred way of makin thecircular or .pamphlet with a remova 1e cover forming the outside of thefinished package.

My invention is particularly adapted for the merchandising of bottledgoods in which a bottle is indicated by the numeral 1 having a base 2,side Walls 3, a shoulder 4 and a neck portion 5 with a cap 6. It isprefpasted together, formerable to use circular bottles when my type ofcontainer is utilized.

tive matter in the bottle or other suitable matter and has front andback cover sheets 9 and 10. The whole pamphlet is preferably securedtogether by staples 11 in. the usual manner.

It is desirable to have one of the cover leaves slightly longer than theother as indicated by the numeral 12, this extension aving glue orcement or the like formed thereon to be utilized as hereunder set forth.I find it desirable to make the covers of waxed tissue paper so that theadvertising matter on the'outside of the pamphlet may be read throughsuclrpaper. 'However; this is optional. One of the reasons for using theextra cover sheets is so that these ma be torn ofl if they are mutilatedbefore the goods are opened.

he circular or pamphlet is rolled around the bottle forming acylindrical wrapping such as shown in Fig. 4; this figure indicating thebottle as being removed or if desired the circular may be rolled on amandrel having substantially the same size as the bottle. The circularis then cemented at the portion indicated by the numeral 13 in Figs. 1and 4:. After the circular is rolled on the bottle the corrugated endsection 14 formed of corrugated cardboard or the like is inserted in theend preferably resting on the shoulders 4 of the bottle or if the bottleis inserted after the circular is rolled. this corrugated portion maysubsequently be inserted. The lower and upper caps 15 and 16 are thenfitted over the ends of the circular. These caps preferably have a flatside 17 and a flange 18 being thus cupshaped. The flanges are preferablyglued to the outside cover of the pamphlet or circular, thus forming asubstantial while compact container with the advertising matterincluded.

It is usual where bottled goods especially such as proprietary medicineare marketed in cartons to include either advertising circulars orothermatter descriptive of the use of the drug.
